[ the had been warm, once. this year has been the construction of a shaded backyard, of palm-leaf umbrellas and the lapping of a basic aqueduct rigged from mathematical principles and constructed with alhaitham's own hands. they bring the temperature down in the back of alhaitham's yard, creating a simple sanctuary where one man can exist for a few minutes at a time, to peer at a merciless sun. this year has been balms and creams for kaveh's hands, lest the sun seeps too deeply into the eleazar scabs. this year has been mist flower corolla baths in its aftermath, because kaveh, who has calculated his limits down to the last relevant vector, refuses to allow them to define him.
alhaitham lets out a long breath. he holds kaveh's hand in his, letting the warmth seep in. in dreams, the sun is not nearly so. ]
By the fifth time, I had rigged a bell in the back yard. It reacted to Dendro energy released whenever you fell; it would sound throughout the house, and I would begin putting the mist flower corollas into the bath. Did you know that our purchases of such raised the prices of mist flower corollas by such an amount that the local tanneries began to complain? It would appear a few dozen commissioners went without their sumpterbeast boots this spring.
